I used to have this. Don’t listen to it. Think of those thoughts as your noisy neighbours, they’re going to be there... they pay their rent, you can choose to listen in, but you wouldn’t be commenting or debating with your neighbours through the wall would you? No. It’ll go.

@Olympea You really need to, or it’ll never end and you’ll just keep ruminating. easier said than done right? The solution is so simple yet impossible.

That's normal for an OCD! I was talking to my therapist today about that cases in my life! And it's pretty normal for us! But that doesn't mean you don't love him

Thank you for all your support you are incredible ! I'm feeling anxious this week and it's probably my OCD coming back after a month of peace with this thought.

baby you don’t have to depend on anyone to be in love. you know how you really feel about him. if you don’t want to leave him, you’ll know. Trust me, depend on yourself and see how dramatic your relationship changes. He can never give you an answer you already have. Good luck sweetie!! ❤️

@Olympea they’ll never stop baby, and I’m sorry! however, you can process them on your own and change your own life without leaving him. It’ll work out no matter what, but only if you focus on correcting yourself before correcting the relationship.

@leafy You're right... So you think I can work on myself, on my codependency and rOCD without losing him?

@Olympea unfortunately, you can’t control a break up. if he ever wants to leave, he will, but learning to be independent will make you a more confident person, and will benefit the relationship. I can say if you work on yourself, drop codependency, and learn to live with and understand intrusive thoughts, you’ll shine brighter in general.

You're right I simply don't want to leave him... But I have all the symptoms of emotional dependency and I'm really scared

OCD thoughts and questions you give to those thoughts will never have a real answer so if you debate with yourself over it you’ll just go down this endless circle.

Wow! What an commendable choice because thats not an easy decision but very healthy choice for you and him.... I went through something similar to your outcome in a relationship but instead of me breaking it off, she did and it was a good reason too although neither her or I knew my O.C.D was the cause of our relationship so feel better and make sure you understand O.C.D and how to treat it... I wish I would have know my situation so I could of treated it before I lost my family...

my thoughts are screaming at me telling me that i dont want my relationship anymore and that i realized i lost feelings. i have a beautiful relationship of two years with a beautiful boy that loves me dearly and i deal with this thoughs for a year and a half. Im so scared it feels so real im scared i have changed and my last therapy session made it worse she basically told me i have to realise the thoughts are true and stop lying to myself. And made me think i am so scared and heartbroken bc i put high expectations on myslef to be with my boyfriend for all my life. Maybe i dont want to hurt him??? im always questioning my feelings for him 24/7 for over a year. I wm tierd

My boyfriend is telling me every time im anxious, that if i didnt like him (i always think that i dont love him) i wouldnt suffer this much over my thoughts, and i could have just leave him. Its very true but i dont feel better at all and im thinking that i dont want to hurt hum or that im used to him and dont want to accept the reality and thats why i suffer because i am a good person???? im so sad and scared and anxious.

I know it’s long but plz read :( have been having really bad ocd about my relationship and my partner and it has gotten worse and worse over the span of like about nine months I’d say. I do acknowledge there are flaws and legit issues about him and the relationship like there are with anyone but I also know ocd has clouded my judgement and perception by analyzing everything and compulsions. For a while I kept feeling this need to get out which I know was ocd. I was really scared to spend the weekend with him because I thought I would just be annoyed and irritated cause it’s been that way for a while but he also was going through a period of high stress so maybe I was resenting him for that and I also wasn’t communicating how I should have been when I was upset because I’ve done that too much in the past. This weekend I was told in therapy to just be in the moment and not have to worry about trying to answer the question of do I love him or should I break up. It did help but It’s weird cause this weekend ended up better but I also was kind of numb? Like I was enjoying myself but didn’t feel what I always have felt in the past? Anyway, I am really anxious because i feel like if I loved him I would be supportive of when his parents compliment him or when he does well at something when instead all I think of are that I’m not happy or annoyed because of things he does that upset me or make me mad and it’s like that’s the only way my brain wants to see him as a person. Or when he is upset it feels like I don’t care like I used to because I think of how he doesn’t deserve this when he does this or he shouldn’t have this when he is like this etc. Why does my brain automatically go there? That’s horrible! I feel like I should be excited for him, rooting for him. But it also feels like I do care for him? But my thoughts keep changing. I am afraid I only am with him because I love that he loves me and how he treats me. This makes me feel selfish cause I can’t do that. I notice I still like when he cuddles me and is sweet to me and does fun things watching movies etc. And that’s not how it used to feeel which scares me because I don’t want to be without him. I also love his parents am I only with him cause of how his parents treat me? I feel so selfish and like I have to tell him and break up with him cause it’s the right thing to do. I never used to feel like this. I’m scared. Is it possible I’m just I’ve been mad and resenting how it’s been cause he’s been stressed mix with my ocd? My therapist said relationships can go through phases. Can I fall back in love with him again? I feel like I have to try to start with someone else like this is too far gone. I don’t want to stay in something where I don’t feel toward him the way I want to but I really don’t want to leave him. I feel like such an awful person cause he doesn’t deserve this and is so caring and loving despite everything the major thing that bugs me is how he gets irritable a lot which is an imperfection that makes me get anxious and question him😭 trying not to read into this and just follow what the therapist said but this is scaring me because I feel like if I loved him I wouldn’t think like this or feel like this.
